Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup chopped walnuts
– 1/2 cup dried cranberries
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup rolled oats

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
5. Divide the cookie dough into four equal portions.
6. To one portion, mix in the semisweet chocolate chips. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. To the second portion, add the chopped walnuts and form into small balls. Place them on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
8. For the third portion, fold in the dried cranberries and shredded coconut. Shape the dough into rounds and flatten slightly before baking.
9. Finally, mix the rolled oats into the remaining dough and form into small mounds on the baking sheet.
10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
